*UPDATE* Office 365 Business renamed to Microsoft 365 Apps for business Office 365 ProPlus renamed to Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise Office 365 Home renamed to Microsoft 365 Family Office 365 Personal renamed to Microsoft 365 Personal Office 2021 has replaced Office 2019, but the comparison in the video still holds true
Office365 would make sense if it was available at a fraction of the price of 2019 - but the price per year is not far from the price of "forever valid" 2019. And - for most users - new features don't matter if they just want to write a letter of create a simple spreadsheet... And yes. With 365 family you get up to 6 copies of Office... but mostly you don't need that much.
Its a good deal actually. Office 365 apps are really well made and well thought out and the massive cloud storage you get is incredible. Its worth every cent for working professionals. Even for students and average joes its still a good deal because you can pay for the basic packages of 365 for dirt cheap (even a little kid can pay for it with just his/her lunch money). Someone should give Microsoft a nobel peace prize for all of this.
You are right when you said that not many will know the differences between Office updated versions. I have been using office 2003 until now, only because I think Microsoft damaged my 12 year old mobile workstation. I think they did it intentionally as nothing is really hidden outside of our devices. Going back to Office, there really isn't any new features that I saw over the years with Office. It would be more user friendly if it had more features with third party tools like Adobe or perhaps make Word more intuitive like Quark Express or InDesign. But that would put those people out of business if they did. So in conclusion, when I buy my new workstation, it will not be a subscription. It may be another 18 years before I need another laptop. But by that time, I may not be alive.
Very informative and easy to understand. 10 minutes ago I didn't know anything about Office 365 or 2019. Now I can't wait for the pubs to open so that I can dazzle everybody with my new found IT knowledge (while keeping social distancing, of course) :)
Office 365 = family or corporation. you get the most bang for your buck with the most features. 6 users equates to $900 - $1500 for the stand alone (home and student & home and Business respectively). so at a price point of $100 - $150 subscription, it'll take 9 - 10 years for these 6 users to get to the stand alone price. Now, say you are single AF, stand alone holds more value. Being always connected to the internet is not a good thing. Black out hits, the stand alone will still be tabulating spreadsheets while the subscription group will be SOL. TL:DR if your party is 2+ get the 365. If you are Single AF get the stand alone
For document production, I can't think of anything that's improved in the last 15 years. I really wish that cloud options could be easily disabled and just attach to my damn NAS. Subscription models are good for the business and shareholders; it's almost never good for the consumer. In every case I can think of, the subscription model price balloons as adoption increases.
Not a fan of subscriptions myself. A lot of businesses like them because they fit neatly into an annual budget but as a consumer I'm not tied to a budget year. I'd rather check I can afford a purchase today and make it today than worry about whether I can continue to afford it every day for the rest of my life.
Thanks for this clear to the point video. Thanks to you I made up my mind on buying the Office 2019 because I am unfrequent user, use Google Doc a lot. It's sometimes hard to fight the urge to buy the package that comes with the extras you dont really need - just for 'peace of mind' that was never in jeopardy in the first place. Just got annoyed when my Macbook pro Mojave update made it impossible for me to use my Office 2011. I appreciate that could happen again but even if it does say in 2 years time I would have not lost out financially.
That's a good example of a new feature in O365. Currently available for some O365 customers, rolling out to the rest starting July, but I'd guess unlikely to be available for O2019 customers until a future upgrade to probably Office 2021. Great example, thanks!
I’d rather just do a one time purchase. If I need to do anything on my phone or ipad i just make a document on pages, keynote, etc and just export it to office if I need to for a computer.
Your forum makes the difference between Microsoft 365 and Office 2019 absolutely clear. I thought I "upgraded" from Microsoft 365 to Office 2019 Professional. Office 2019 provides many of the latest features that are derived from Microsoft 365, let alone Microsoft Office 2016, which became my main business productivity suite more than three years ago. I only switched from Microsoft 365 to Microsoft Office 2019 Professional, so that it stays on my computer that I call my keyboard, since it is my powerful typewriter. In 2017, I bought a better keyboard than the first I had since 2002. Now I know that the choice between Microsoft 365 and Office 2019 is a matter of individual choice. I am satisfied that I made the right choice for me.
Teams and MS telephony would be the only two reasons I see to move to a subscription model. MS constant updates of their subscription make it less stable, I agree.
That's true for Excel... but Word and PowerPoint have supported co-authoring since Office 2010. The storage location is important, though. Co-authoring requires the file to be stored on SharePoint/OneDrive (on-premises or online). It won't work with a traditional file share.
Nothing is Free in this world...guaranteed, you are going to pay for it sooner or later. Actually is sounds like a prelude to forcing everyone online to use their software where they have 100% control over you & your data.....it's coming, if people don't start standing up against this crap
@@notnecessary7730 I don't care, what little data they record from me is inconsequential. I don't care if some super computer at Microsoft knows that I like chocolate cake or that they know that I purchased a Xbox from Amazon by scanning my email. It doesn't hurt me.
@@03chrisv that's not the point, it's a real shame that today's youth have been brainwashed. That is exactly the logic they use on people to invade their privacy!!! Too many people have shed blood and gave their lives for our right to privacy!!! ITS the principal my friend
@@notnecessary7730 No, it's not about principle, it's about practicality. What specifically am I losing in terms of data or privacy by using the free version of Microsoft Office? I don't want hyperbole or "what ifs".
Yeah but u need an Internet connection. I don’t have internet at home. Another issue for me is bloody printers, they now require bloody active internet connections. Not to mention smart plugs which are all cloud based. Argh.
@@ProTechShow well, 10 months later.... 6.5K and pushing! Great content, I subbed. I actually learned from this too, and I've been an Office user since 1995. I've always preferred paying once, owning it, and installing locally on my own drives. I use my own cloud. Thanks!
I own Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise licensed with Office 2016 Mondo, because Microsoft 365 is still based on Office 2016... And I have Visio + Project.
I used to be a dedicated customer of Office, now forget it. Microsoft store scammed me out of $6.99. It was a major headache to upload, when I tried to open Word a "we respect your privacy" ad stopped me. All Office 365's soulless machine customer service advised was to open Word file. I couldn't open word. Thanks, on-line soulless non-human "customer service." Lost customer. Libre Office is what Microsoft Office used to be.
I know the feeling. It does reside on your PC either way (it's the Office Online service that is only in the cloud), but I've always preferred to buy something and own it. A lot of businesses prefer the Opex model so they can have a consistent amount in their budget year-on-year rather than one year with a large lump, but it does mean they tend to spend more overall...
At my school we get a free office 365 license, but I've found a llace that sells office 2019 student for roughly $200 Australian. I think I may have to bite and buy it as it's something I'll be using for years to come.
That sounds sensible, although depending on your plans after school you might not need to. Most universities I've come across have the same deal as your school, and many employers use 365 as well. There's a chance you may end up with a new licence from one of those after school, depending on your future plans.
The only difference is the delivery model. Subscriptions get new features ...don't expect them to be useful or working. Do expect to have access to them. After having MS techs spend 40-hours getting outlook to play nice with gmail ...on my brand spanking new laptop, I'm reviewing my alternatives. MS has gone so downhill I can't stand using it anymore. And I've been a MS Windows fan since 1993! I'm a fan NO MORE...
All of the above. This is a comparison between the Microsoft (Office) 365 and Office 2019 families. It isn't a breakdown of the different editions within the 365 family or the different editions within the 2019 family, although the former is covered in another video. It's intended to answer questions like "What's the difference between Word in Office 365 and Word in Office 2019", not "Do I need Publisher or Access?".
Office 2019 doesn’t have auto save. I feel cheated. I don't see how the personal vault is secure. I have files all over my computer with my email and phone on my letterhead so if someone gets into my computer they can get an email in my email and open a personal vault. I think I need a folder in one drive that won't open until I put in a pin number that only I have memorized. What say you?
They added the autosave after I made the video. It's a feature that I like other people to use, but I hate using myself and always disable. I tend to make notes to myself as I write sections of a document and I don't trust myself to write them professionally enough to be shared automatically! The OneDrive vault shouldn't be sending an email to the same email account that OneDrive uses. It should use whatever recovery address you've set up in case you get locked out. You're right that if you sync that to the same computer it's largely pointless. It's essentially trying to provide multifactor authentication, but it does rely on you making sure no single device has access to everything for it to be effective. So it can be secure... but only if you take measures yourself to keep your authentication factors separate. You could remove the recovery email address from your account altogether and rely solely on SMS and/or the Microsoft Authenticator app on your phone .
If purchasing through retail channels you should get a link emailed to you. I don't want to share unofficial links here, but you can download pretty much any Office variant you want from Microsoft using the Office Deployment Tool: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/overview-office-deployment-tool You'll need to modify the XML file with the products you want as listed here: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/troubleshoot/installation/product-ids-supported-office-deployment-click-to-run In your case that sounds like "Professional2019Retail".
Hey bro.. i'm new in computer.I liked ur video very much. I have some doubts .will u clear those? 1.I have a pre installed office app in my windows 10 laptop. But whenever i open it , it says it is expired, one month trial has ended. 2. Even though it is installed why i've to use internet to use office. 3. How to uninstall office 365 and download office 2019. 4. Can i use word,excel without using office. I'll be obliged if u reply..
1. It's normal for new computers to come bundled with a trial of Office. 2. To check if you have a valid subscription. This is required for 365, but not 2019. 3. Type "Add or remove programs" into your start menu to uninstall software. If it's not actually installed and is just a link to install it, try right-clicking on the icon. 3. There's a link to Office 2019 Home & Student in the video description. If you don't need it for business and you don't need Outlook, that's the version you're after. 4. Technically, yes... you can buy standalone copies of Word and Excel... but they're bad value for personal use. They're £110 each, whereas Office 2019 Home & Student is £120 and includes both of those plus PowerPoint. You can also use the online web apps for free, but not the full installed apps on your laptop.
depends on what you are willing to pay, 365 is a monthly paying..every month every year.. whereas office 2019 is a one time buy..you only need to check the support of it which will last till 2025 i guess. Then You can buy another office.. If you have more then one computer ..and you are willing to pay forever a monthly or yearly fee and you can split up your cost with a family member 5 or 6 then maybe 365 could be a greater deal.
according to your advice I will purchase an office 2019. But i might change my PC down the track hopefully within the next year. If that happens I can still activate my Office 2019 in the new PC right?
Yes. If you remove it from your old computer (I believe you can deactivate the licence from your MS account) then you can reuse it on the new one. Office 2021 is now out, so get that rather than 2019.
dont use crack version bro, crack versions nowadays are potentially hidden virus or trojans in it and creates backdoors in your system, you dont want your system to be compromised. Just pay or try to get a good deal like black friday.
Which do you suggest for use in a small office consisting of 5-10 pc's? Office 2003 & 2010 were a bit flexible and allowed installations over multiple pc's as long as it didn't get out of hand. How is 2019 & 2021 in this regard? I am in need of the edition with MS Access.
2019/2021 = one licence per computer, but anyone can use it. 365 = one licence per person, but can be installed on multiple devices. That was the case with 2010 as well. You could only (legitimately) install it on multiple devices if you had bought enough licences to cover the use. If it's just the Office client apps you need then the biggest decision is if you want to pay upfront or on a subscription. For a small office it might be worth looking to get it as part of the M365 Business Standard package as it covers a lot of the typical services a small business uses (email, file sharing, etc.) and it's usually a bit cheaper to get everything together than buying them separately. There's more detail about the different options in this video, and links to them in its description: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8Od5IqPRnbQ.html
Only with 365 as the licence then follows the person rather than the device. It allows the same person to activate up to 5 devices at once, but anyone else using it needs their own licence.
There's no way for me to know, but if you have a 365 subscription you could try removing whatever is installed and downloading a fresh copy from your online account. Make sure you sign in to Office with same account the subscription is attached to.
@@TedEhioghae there is no 2019 Personal, but 365 Personal does include Outlook. OneNote is now free and can be installed with or without the rest of Office. MS tried to kill off the Office version of OneNote and replace it with the Windows 10 "modern" app in 2019, but most people preferred the old OneNote 2016, so now MS have updated that and made them both free.
Stay away from Office 365! Installed on two new machines and it’s worse than a crypto locker! Cant connect to server 2019 since installation. Microsoft support is non exitant and none of the support can speak clear English. Now having to abandon server and Microsoft and move to cloud based Mac. You have been warned
There is a single set of GPO templates that covers Office 2019 and 365 (and 2016 too). They both use Click-to-Run, which updates differently from the usual WSUS approach. With RDP you need to pay attention to the specific version/licence you're buying. With 2019 you need a volume licence to cover every user, and with 365 you need to check that the edition you're purchasing includes Shared Computer Activation. Shared activation is one of the features covered in my latest video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8Od5IqPRnbQ.html
Yes. You can still use OneNote and sync it via OneDrive for free, assuming the your data fits within the constraints of the free plans. I've got a mixture of free and paid (M365) notebooks sync'd across several computers and my phone.
I've been using Office 2007 for many years. Still works fine but I know I need an update. I think I'll get Office 2019 because there isn't any major differences from year to year but I'm sure there's a big different from 2007! lol However...can I only use 2019 on ONE COMPUTER?
@@FrankJamesBailey For 2019 it doesn't matter if they're all yours as it's per-device. If you own 3 devices you still need to buy 3 copies and you'd do a one-time activation of the software on each. For 365 it will require you to sign in to your account to check you have a licence. You can have it on more than one device, but only people with a licence are allowed to use it. That's not to say it's impossible to cheat the system, but it would be in breach of your licensing terms.
The biggest concern is not the productivity, but the support of security updates... having old microsoft can be compromised potentially..not saying it will happen, but is introducing some maybe extra risks, therefore upgrading to newer release that is officially supported is more key, I think. Office365 is way to expensive..the average user just need standard functionality. So Theorietically you can still use 10 years old Words...and still be fine.
That depends on what you already have. The "365" branding covers a huge range of products. If the services your employer provided are only accessed via a web browser, then you're fine to use whatever version of Office you like. I'd guess this is the most likely scenario if you don't have Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. Check this video and if you recognise that you're using one of the subscriptions that includes productivity services but no client apps, then you're probably fine. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8Od5IqPRnbQ.html If you have installed some Office (or related e.g. Visio/Project) applications on your computer then it gets a bit murkier as some combinations can coexist, and others can't. This article will give you the details, but you may need to do a bit more digging to figure out what exactly you've got installed and what installation method it used. If in doubt, ask your employer what they've given you. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/install-different-office-visio-and-project-versions-on-the-same-computer
Assuming it's not for a large business that gets volume/enterprise copies the current options that include Access are Microsoft 365 Apps for Business (subscription, linked in description) or Office 2021 Professional (upfront payment, perpetual).
"Office 365 ProPlus" is now called "Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise", and is roughly equivalent to "Office 2019 Professional Plus", but not exactly the same. This video covers the differences between the 365 and 2019 editions. The main difference is in how you pay for them, but the features differ a little as well. However, "Office 365" isn't a single product - it's really a brand that covers a wide range of services. The name "Office 365" could mean any of a whole host of products, which may not even include the Office apps at all. To get an overview of all of the products previously (and in some cases still) called "Office 365" I recommend this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8Od5IqPRnbQ.html. It is definitely confusing...
The apps and key need to match. Whilst 2019 and 365 are very similar, they are different products. If you've got a 2019 key but 365 apps installed (they're often preinstalled as a trial), you'll need to uninstall 365, then install 2019 and activate it using your key.
Maybe you have a 365 subscription, or a trial? If its a personal/family subscription/trial (rather than a business one) then you can check it here to see when it expires: account.microsoft.com/services
@@ProTechShow no. i dont have trial or anything i just used the cmd run to admin and its automatically activated with my 365 apps. my question is... is it safe ?
Some versions of Office can reconfigure themselves after installation to switch between installs, so it's possible you may have reinstalled it as 2019. If you check File > Account in Word you can see what version is currently installed. The fact that you used cmd may be a concern. Unless you're rolling this out to a large number of devices across a network, that is not the normal process, and makes me wonder if you are using a dodgy activation… Bottom line - if you didn't pay for it, it's not legal. If you followed a Microsoft article and used it to apply a key you bought for yourself, that’s fine… not the usual way, but fine. If it was dodgy then the most likely impact to you would be Microsoft blocking you at some point in the future. If you've run anything using cmd as admin, though; you're essentially giving it full control of everything on your computer. If you ran something you found on the internet this way, you're at the mercy of whoever wrote it. They might have just applied a dodgy Office activation, or they might have done something more nefarious. If this is the case, running a malware scan would be a good idea to put your mind at rest, then buy a legitimate copy. 😉
I have a pre-installed office on windows 10 and I am accessing office 365 online. But I need the offline mode full package of the office. could you recommend me how can I access the offline mode for free? Thanks!
If you mean the free online web apps that you access in a browser, you must be connected to the internet to use them. The full version of Office that installs on your computer is not free I'm afraid - you either need a Microsoft 365 subscription, or a one-off purchase of Office 2019. You can find out more about the M365 subscriptions here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8Od5IqPRnbQ.html. There are links to the subscriptions in the description of that video.
The best way to be sure is to buy it from a reputable source. There are lots of sites selling them at a huge discount but the usual rule of "if it sounds too good to be true it probably is" applies. Most of these are grey market at best (which may or may not be illegal depending on where you live) and many are just stolen. Personally I won't touch those sites because I've seen where the keys come from, even though they regularly offer me money to promote them! If you already have a key then just try it. You could perhaps contact MS to check it but either they'll say yes or they'll block your key so you don't really gain much over just trying it.
If you're buying now, go for the newer one. If you've got 2016 already I wouldn't personally upgrade to 2019 unless you knew you really needed a very specific feature, as they're largely the same.
2019 is for 1 device - anyone can use it on that device. 365 is for 1 person - that person can install it on up to 5 devices at any time but only they can use it.
@@PoojaChoudhary-xe3wk If it says 2016 under the account page then you've installed the wrong version. As suggested, try downloading a new version from www.office.com.
I was searching for an answer to this question (does office 2019 give me an activated pro version for the office apps on iPad or I have to get office 356 to be able to use office app on my iPad) if anyone knows the answer please reply
2019 is Windows/Mac only. The mobile apps are free, but are read-only on screens larger than 10.1 inches to prevent people effectively running them as a desktop app for free. For most iPads you'd need a 365 subscription to get the full features of the mobile app. 2019 won't cover it.
@@azealstock991 no , just choose one, and if you have 2 license then install it on another computer or someone else who needs it. You should never install 2 office on the same computer unless you want to make microsoft rich.
Are you sure that's 2019 and not 365? 365 comes with 1TB OneDrive as long as you keep paying for it. 2019 doesn't include any cloud storage. Currys might be doing their own deal, but I'd be very surprised if it was perpetual. Samsung have offered a free OneDrive storage deal before, but it was time-limited and then you had to pay to keep it.
Ever so slightly. There are some differences (mainly to the toolbar), but I switch between both fairly regularly and don't even notice. They started off virtually identical, and as 365 updates it will slowly diverge until 2022 brings them back in line; but the Office interface still hasn't changed much since 2013.
Outlook peaked in 2007 if its just for emails. Since then it's all been downhill. Modern outlooks a pile of garbage, who ever made and designed the UI wants shooting.. (hint nobody designed it thats the problem)
